Fun while at Robert Wash-In on May 15, 2010!

This is some of the fun we had during the Wash-In at Robert house in Minneapolis on Saturday, May 15, 2010

Fabulous! Love these machines - so much more efficient. My mom always said the last decent macine on the market was a 1959 front loading Bendix. We loved it, even when it came unbolted and hopped all over the garage! Thanks for this video!

[@mxylpx]

Wow! Bendix..I had not heard that name in a quite awhile!

[@CH67guy1]

So cool, that turquoise Frigidaire at the end! With the "granite" porcelain tub. We had a slightly newer model when I was a kid. It had the full width fluorescent light on the control panel. I used to hold the button down and watch it wash and spin. SO COOL!

[@maynard7777]

This is the coolest video I've seen in a long time! I love seeing those old machines (some of which I remember when I was growing up). Just wish the cameraman had zoomed out a little to show the entire machine & the control panels.

[@mxylpx]

I like how these guys are reduced to little boys by these wonderful machines.

[@MeinnameistDreck]

LOVE the '47 GE automatic!! Back when American meant quality! Thanks for posting this!

[@socksumi]

This is just unique and fantastic.

[@CH67guy1]

I love it! I know 2 guys in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania that have a collection of antique washers and dryers. And 1 of the 2 guys wishes the other did not have so many machines!

[@ronaldroberts7735]

Ah, your videos bring back great memories of getting drunk and doing all the laundry I could find with my Danby twin tub washer. I already had another portable washer (apartment without w/d hookups), but I bought the twin tub just because it was the first one I had seen available in the USA since the 80s. This was around 5 years, ago. I can't imagine spending a whole day in that basement! There wouldn't be enough vodka!

[@tenantproof]

Never seen so many men so interested in laundry. Love the machines.

[@izabelaradziszewska6427]

IF in my country been place like this, Then I can be hours in there.

[@kyjimbo511]

My favorite is the Philco Automagic with the high speed "hula" agitator.

[@818Dimples]

I had one of those Suzy Homemaker washers when I was 10 years old.

[@bpetersxx]

Ah yes the good old days When washers were made to last

[@m2esectr]

@JSneaker It was in the early Westinghouse front-loaders that you had to use those detergents back then, as they were the precursors of modern HE detergents.

[@ALANSWEETIES99]

What a incredible for this... Is quite awesome!

[@CH67guy1]

Wow, I wish I got my own washing machine when I was 3! But I did have my own Kirby vacuum cleaner at that age, and it was taller than me at the time.

[@Benicio_Fols]

2:12 what a beautiful speed queen

[@grandcarriage1]

That Apex is COOOL. Basically similar to a front loader mechanism but top loading? You should have heard the font geek in me freak out at the Speed Queen font at 2:10. I love industrial design, and this is Industrial design porn. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING!

[@jkalin196511]

I've got to make to one of Robert's wash in, no if, and or buts!

[@DELFO2907]

Amazing! love the frigidaire 1-18! Where did you get that wonderful green pair?

[@BigGuyInJersey]

I LOVE these guys...wished I lived closer :-)

[@sweetsweatyfeet]

With all these machines in operation I could only imagine your electric bill.

[@tjfreak]

[@PlausableApple4]

@3:17 The one and only Uni-matic!

[@dennischand1]

Brands of washing machines: 1. Automagic 2. GE (General Electric) 3. Hotpoint 4. unknown 5. Speed Queen 6. unknown 7. all unknown 8. May-------- 9. unknown 10. unknown 11. Frigidaire

[@m2esectr]

The 1947 GE at 0:43-0:57 - GE can say that their first model was their best ever!

[@shmuli9]

I sometimes wonder WHY some of these washers still weren't made. They had excellent turnover and rinsing.

[@simonsteam]

They don't make them like that anymore. Such a shame.

[@WilliePeck]

Is the first one a Philco ford?

[@WhitewithBlue]

Do you sell these washer sets? If you do, I'd like a mid 70's Kenmore washer and dryer set

[@w8lftr]

no sudslock on a good old thumper they could handle anything.

[@kuntyfacedbitch]

WOW. beautiful machines...... uhh so DOLL.

[@edgrossman517]

Would have liked to see these in action

[@joelappel1540]

at 4 minute that one is cool

[@southernnutcase]

i wanna go to this museum one day!

[@818Dimples]

I do too.

[@revvinkev]

It's not a museum, it's a private collection at someones house.

[@southernnutcase]

Kevin B well I know it's not a literal museum, but Givin the amount of antique machines that are on display I wasn't sure what else to call it

[@socksumi]

@@revvinkev Robert could charge admission and people would come.

[@SJones240]

What in the world is a wash in?! And how do I get invited? 😆

[@historicaltrainbusfan1067]

It's something that collectors on the Website automaticwasher.org do. It's a sort of social event for people to show off their appliance collections.

[@lexmarks567]

How do i host a wash in?

[@revvinkev]

Do you have a lot of washing machines? Can you hook them up so they can be used? Have a party and invite people you know would be interested and tell them to bring laundry.

[@haroldfannin9554]

Dear Lord I'm in heaven!

[@ts32323]

Neat!

[@mielefan18]

5***** Star vid :D brilliant machines and they look nearly unused and new :D wish i could wash in one of these machines :D love the machine @ 6:13 :D:D the suds-cake is funny :D

[@karl2561]

Hello, would you be willing to sell that pair? the aqua/turqoise models? I can't see the make. I had a pair of pink maytag 1961 on my eaby watch list. They are somewhere in Florida, ebay deleted my list without asking. If you or anyone knows how to find them I would appreciate your help. thanks, Karl

[@818Dimples]

What brand Is that huge washer / dryer combination front loader in the video? Is it whirlpool or speed queen?

[@818Dimples]

Maytag or Frigidaire?

[@revvinkev]

That is a 1958 Whirlpool Combo! The Speed Queen combo is in a 27" cabinet, versus a 33" cabinet for the WP. You can see a Speed Queen combo at 1:45 in the video link below. (It happens to be sitting next to another '58 WP combo.) kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2eQfadteshgiaM

[@revvinkev]

Maytag or Frigidaire? YES! Haha, what are you referring to?

[@818Dimples]

Thank you Kevin B. I too had a Suzy Homemaker & some of my relatives had that whirlpool & he washer / dryer combination. I am old school & a washing machine aholic.

[@carleneboulden4386]

What's that washer at 1:30 called ?

[@revvinkev]

That is a 1955 Westinghouse Laundromat (that's what they called the washing machine).

[@dennischand1]

sorry, i didn't see the Philco logo

[@bassistguy]

2:42 Seems like this is what HE machines try to do nowadays, except the "engineers" can't seem to figure out how to get the clothes to turn like this!
